The Soldiers' Tower was built by the University of Toronto Alumni Association in 1924 as a memorial to the Great War of 1914-1918. The names of those who died in that conflict are carved on the Memorial Screen at photo left. After the Second World War, more names were carved in the Memorial Arch at the Tower's base. In total, almost 1,200 names are inscribed. A Memorial Room inside the Tower contains mementoes and artifacts, and a 51-bell carillon serves as the audio element of the living memorial to the alumni, students, faculty and staff who died in the World Wars. The Soldiers' Tower is the site of an annual Service of Remembrance. Photo: Kathy Parks, Alumni Relations.

CIMETIÈRE D'HAMBOURG Allemagne
Ohlsdorf est un village sur la rivière d'Alster, à environ 9 km au nord-est de la ville d'Hambourg du côté est de l'aéroport de la ville. En venant de Hanovre ou de Kiel, quittez l'autoroute A7 à la sortie 432 en suivant les indications pour l'aéroport (Flughaven). Après 2 km, tournez à droite sur la Swebenweg qui, plus loin, converge avec la Krohnstieg et passe sous la piste de l'aéroport. Après 4 km, tournez à droite sur la chaussée 433. Deux kilomètres plus loin, tournez à gauche sur l'Erdkampsweg en suivant les indications vers Barmbek. Continuez le long de cette route pendant 1,7 km, puis tournez immédiatement à droite avant un pont ferroviaire important sur une route qui s'appelle I.M. Grunen Grund. Six cents mètres plus loin, tournez à gauche sur l'Alsterdorfer. Le CIMETIÈRE D'HAMBOURG est situé dans cette rue à l'intersection de la Fuhlsbuttlerstrasse.
Le lot de la Commission est annoncé dans le CIMETIÈRE D'HAMBOURG et se trouve à 300 mètres de la chapelle. À noter que la visite du cimetière est réservée aux heures normales ouverture.
